Hi!Do you use same shade of lipstick for all occasion?I like mauve shade and use the same for all occassion.Do you use longstay lip colours?I find that using long stay lipsticks make the lips darker.Maybe the lead content in them.

The real question should be, can you look in the mirror and honestly tell your self "you don't need any makeup"? Make up ruins your skin, due to the fact that you absorb everything that touches your skin through your pores. Eventually it builds up and becomes toxic to your body. But in such a superficial society, I suppose that it is better to gradually give up our health, than endure a life time of being different.

I agree with what you say.Natural beauty is the best.Even petroleum jelly or butter applied to lips looks grate and helps healing chapped lips.Thanks for the response

erm. i use lipgloss. But my colour is red and somehow it sticks to my lips the entire day. WHich is great. It gives my lips that natural reddish colour. Nothing too loud. I prefer neutral shades.

I too prefer neutral shade.I do use lipbalm over lipstick to get the glossy effect.

Hi there....I have only one lipstick and it's from Maybelline Water Shine cotton candy color. Been using this lipstick for the past 4 years already and it's nearly finished now. It's a normal lipstick which will wear off once you eat something. And I normally do not re apply it...too lazy. I am fine with only one lipstick as I seldom put lipstick unless going out for dinner functions and sunday service. Other days I work from home so there's not a need to put any make up.

of course not. i never stick on one color. color makeups should be colorful, so i never use one color all the time, that's too dull. if you ask me how many colors of lipstick i have, i can not tell you because i don't know exactly how many i have. over 20 i am sure.

Lucky you can use so many colours.I stay in part of India where people dont use much coloured cosmetics.I am very fond of them but when I tried them I found people staring at me.So I now use a much sober shade.
